NortonDomeExplorer

Classical Newtonian mechanics is generally considered a prime example of a deterministic theory. It is however possible to construct systems within the confines of Newtonian mechanics which appear to be indeterministic. The NortonDomeExplorer was developed for the exploration of the discretized version of such an example [1]: the dynamics of a point mass on Malament's mounds[2], including the special case of Norton's dome[3].
